wrecked tl

i got into a car crash yesterday with my 04 tl and i was wondering if you guys think its totaled or if insurance will fix it.

It's not letting me see the picture.

From past experience, if the crash is that bad, you're going to wish that your car is totaled because it will never drive the same. If you have aftermarket stuff, make sure to always keep receipts. Certain insurance companies will reimburse you for those costs as well.

did you run it off the road?

wrecked tl

well i smashed into a wood wall packed into the ground that's about 4 feet high i was going about 40 went to slow down to take a turn but the car didn't stop to much sand on the ground lost control and hit it. the reason for allot of sand is because it snowed the other day

Damn.

Can you tell if the frame is bent? Is there damage on the side of the car? Did all of the air bags go off? What's the year and milage of the car? There are a lot of variables to discuss before saying it's totaled.

wrecked tl

no damage to the side of the car only the front. It looks to me as if there are two frames in the hood the bottom one seems fine but the top one on the passenger side is twisted.. but i dont know much about the lay out of the car. only the front 2 air bags went off and its an 04 113k miles book value is around 11k with the year and miles

xander569

Looks like a goner to me.

Nexson

Total, 113k miles, sorry!

I would not even bother fixing that.And if it was fixable,i would def just sell it afterwards.

iTrader: (3)

Yep, totalled.

wrecked tl

well at least i get 11 grand to buy a new tl

Nexson

11k isn't going to get you far. Look into something more accomodating for your age.

yea, maybe he thinks its a different crowd over there lol, we are all the same people

Thats a gonner. Mine should have been one but the body shop worked with the insurance company to keep it at the maximum payout for the car, they took a nice amount off the top, almost three grand, so that i could keep my car. Yours looks like it will take a lot more than mine to fix it up. I just had a lot of vandilization done to mine.

Yikes, I think you should start looking for another car, my friend. Glad to know that you weren't injured from this incident.

04 over 100k mi....totalled. you might as well start adding up all the panels at about $1k a piece to repair/replace/repaint, airbags ($$$), suspension, possible frame damage....you're already at more than the car is worth.

start shopping for a car that you can manage.

Scottwax

100k+ miles and airbag deployment is pretty much always a total loss.

Cbronze_06TL

i agree...that beast is totalled...insurance wont try to fix it. just remove your aftermarket parts before taking it to bodyshop and sell them to the Black Market..

joe freitas

well my plan now is buying a salvaged tl hit from the back and swapping the parts and replace the upper frame shouldnt that work fine and cheaper?

SpiderX1016

It's done. Don't bother fixing it.

Don't waste your time or energy. Just move on.

joe freitas

well believe it or not its just the out side didnt even come close to the motor all i need is a power steering pump.. and this way it'll only cost me 5 grand

xander569

Take the insurance money, find yourself a more reasonable (Read: cheaper) car for your age, and call it a day. It's not worth fixing and won't drive the same. Trust the AZ!

wojo1988

did you have full coverage on it?

I don't think it will be totaled. Never mind, Just seen-the airbag deployed, it may be totaled.

joe freitas

yup
